TikTok advises Android users in the US to sideload the app
Briefly

Despite TikTok's absence from the US Google Play and Apple App Stores, users can download the app through official Android Package Kits from TikTok's website. This follows a recent law that mandates the app's removal unless its parent company, ByteDance, sells it to a US-based owner. TikTok's app was temporarily offline before this law took effect, and although there may be ongoing negotiations for a potential sale, ByteDance has resisted selling in the past.
TikTok's Android Package Kits are now available for download through its official site, allowing users in the US to sideload the app despite its absence from app stores.
The US law requires that TikTok be removed from app stores unless ByteDance sells it to a domestic owner, leading to its temporary offline status.
